Speechless again at a loss for words
But they wouldn't be heard anyway would they
The minimum required what the offer is
And that's all you give

Bbsus2 > Fmaj7
Stranded above all the friction here
Your motives aren't clear enough to see
More of the F/C > G/D > F/C > G/D > Bsus2 part here, a little different but more or less the same
I will be unstable
I'm not just a passerby
I hate sudden changes
Bbsus2 > F
Speechless again with no time to spare
Could you pretend that you care just once for me
At least for a while put your guards away
There's no one to blame

Words can't hear this silent ear
(Fear won't leave here first)
Certain sigh
Why frame time to time spent near
(Nearness loses sight)
Sight signed off
Words can't hear this silent ear
(Fear won't leave here first)
Certain sigh
The last time, end on the D

and so on, until
E > E/F# > E/G# > Asus2
Your words occur to me sometimes
Behind the reasons why we're here
And walk on a clear wire
Trapeze Jesus cautious and slow
So quick to lunge brain to tongue
To find I'm the only one
The only one that's fit to choose
Another side another tool
And what makes up your silver spoon
That makes you want to live again
Can play those like this
E > E/F# > E/G# > Asus2
